I think it should be the copy from COPYING, in fact, since that's the exact GPL 2.0 license the kernel is under. Library GPL is factually correct; Lesser GPL is a newer name for the same license, but COPYING retains the old name.

I don't remember when the FSF moved from Temple place but indeed, the address, which is correct in COPYING, could be updated.
